Who Am I - I Am You         

        My name is Stephen Kirsch. 

        I am an American citizen born in Baltimore. My heritage is German. My parents were Republican admirers of General Eisenhower. 

        I have children and grandchildren. I have and still work.

        I believe in my country, my God, and my family. I believe in the teachings not of those of the books but of those of my family. I believe in the right to participate in that which I have helped to build. 

         My parents taught me not to lie, not to steal, to cherish family, friends, and strangers; that in family there are no strangers. I have been taught to cherish the principles of my parents, among these, hard work, and caring for all. 

         I learned not to embrace a political party, a particular religion rather to embrace my neighbor, no matter who he is, from where he arrived, what he is.

        Who am I?  I am you.

        Each of you is born of parents with a heritage having their heroes and villains. Like me many of you have children with all of us having loved ones. Like me you have setbacks. Like me you know the struggles of life. Like me you dreams, hopes and fears.

         Each of you believes in something beyond you making you and me of the same cloth. 

         Like me you know joy and sorrow, happiness and disappointment. 

         Like me you believe in hard work deserving to be of that which you help to build. 

         Like me you have been taught not to steal, care for family, friends, and those beyond. 

        Timeless virtues are our inheritance.

        I am you. You are I.

        I have experienced life as you have. We are not enemies. We are brothers.

        I do not care who you are, from where you come. 

        I am a Baltimore American Statesman. 

       You are I.

       I am you.
